I think it's a great option,considering the low cost.I have not faced any kind of issues(hardware/software) so far,and i have to admit,it carries a very powerful wifi card!
The only negative is the rear camera which is considered 5.0 MP,but its not over 3MP...
And of course,there's no available root technic...

this phone needs a serious update, message vibrate doesnt work and google search bar keeps disapearing and option to change wallpaper when u hold on home screen is not there any more apart from that its ok for £40

After coming from flagship phones its no shock my review wont be the fairest.

Its solid made but still feels less than budget in the hand, although it almost stock android its jam packed full of vodaphone bloatware that is not needed and hinders the all ready over driven CPU and the small amount of ram,
After a good clean out of all the vodaphone apps i found it to be a little faster and the UI is smooth untill you start running background multitasks,
WHY vodaphone have made the text app all about them is horrific and its better to root your texts via the google hangouts app to avoid the pointless ram eating and very anoying pop ups.
The camera is shocking to say the least but will take a picture good enough to be viewed on the handset or of a meal to make your mum cry that your mates mum cooks better grub.

The screen is enough for doing normal tasks but you can see the lower spec when trying to read text and view pictures,
internet browsing is not very good and you feel how slow CPU is working when loading pages and if you receive any calls or messages the phone clearly cant cope and becomes slow and glitchy

In reflaction they could of done a little more at this price but for a very low end phone it does the job, calls are clear and signal is great! simple games work fine and its good to check social media, its very good as a first phone,a back up,going out in the mud or for kids as its built like a tank and can take a few knocks and at the price and be easy to replace if lost or broken,

if this is your only option at this price then grab a bargin but if you want a grown ups phone or something for the advanced android lover then hold on to your cash and save up for something far better

So Vodafone smart "speed" 6. Yeah..... speed, with a 1.0 ghz quad-core Mediatek cpu and 1 Gb of ram. On the other hand the cpu and gpu don't have much work to do because it has a stupid 4.5" 480x854 pixels screen.
